Awesome capture and presentation. Gorgeous.

Too overprocessed, bright detailess portion is a killer , which is something you want to avoid or at least compensate for when you shoot.

The blue has a nice calming effect. I actually like the border there too; it works well.

Nice tranquil image and although generally having the horizon in the middle isn't as appealing, I can see that you'd lose too much of the interesting elements in the picture if you cropped this differently. Well done!

The color treatment works well here. I like the subject's size in the frame.

toning is "cool" but the pelican is just a little lost, jmo

Voted earlier coming back to leave comments. A very interesting presentation of a sunset shot but instead of warm colors it utilizes cool blues. The choice to use cool colors invokes the idea of a calm serene and cool breezy day by the shore. Tones and contrasts are good with maybe jussst a tad more of a boost to the contrast to make it pop visually even more. Love the inclusion and spotting the pelican in the shot for it adds visual interest. The last little critique I have for this shot is that the head of the pelican disappears a bit into that sand bar. A slight change in angle either by shooting it a little higher up or lower would have moved the head such that the water would be the backdrop and thus the whole bird would be fully visible and contrast with it's surroundings. Great photo nonetheless!

Nice blues, a calm scene.

Peaceful view of the water with the birds.

very nice, touching

Crisp and Nice tones. The border works well here as well. The only thing is that the pelican's head is lost in the sand. You should have asked it to move for you:) 7

At work. If the light was more to the left it would not overpower.

Nice shot with wonderful blue tones. Pelican's head gets lost in the sandbar, though.

There is something very desolate about this shot.

Lovely image with beautiful composition and hues. 8

Very serene. Nice blue hue.

This is nice, I'd like it more if the pelican didn't blend into the sand behind him so much

great blue tones- the framing it a nice little touch.

I went from a vivid orange sunset to this and the contrast is quite shocking. This is elegant and I love the tones.

The way the sandbar intersects the head of the bird is a little unsettling for me. I love how you captured the the gust of wind ripping across the water. A storm is either coming or going.

simple yet beautiful, love the color, so peaceful

You don't often see a blue sunset. Nice.

Nice overall shot but I feel a little too distant from the subject.

If you had gotten down a little lower or up a bit higher, I think the angle and view of the silhouette would be better.

A bit dark for me, but nice :)

Wonderful reflection, I can't tell where the sky ends and water starts.

just wish there was more detail...close up

This is pretty... The uneveness of the border is slightly distracting to me, though.

I love that steel blur. A beautiful scene. I'd love to see it HUGE on a wall with a wide mat and thin black frame. :~) 7

too bad the pelican gets lost in the whole picture.

I really like the overall blueish colour to this, the pelican is an added bonus

Great exposure. I wish the pelican where on one of the thirds lines, and not obscured by the sandbar there.

Its a nice scene but it all blends in just a little to much.
